21/05/2026Last week, the incredibly popular Henna Club held its first competition.
Mrs Salim prepared laminated hand templates, some pre-designed and some blank stencils, and provided the students with henna cones to use; the resulting designs were simply stunning. 🤩

20/05/2026Inspired by The Butterfly Project @HMHou and the poem The Butterfly by Pavel Friedman, our year 9 students have again created beautiful memorials for children who died during the Holocaust. @HMD_UK
This is an RE research project and students visited the library to learn how to research and find the information they needed to create their memorial.

19/05/2026Year 8 students recently visited Southall Gurdwara. They were incredibly respect, curious and asked lots of insightful questions to our guides.
Many ate food in the Langar (Sikh free food kitchen), returning for seconds, thirds and sometimes even fourths!

11/05/2026Be a Journalist Day at Woolmer Hill
Last Friday the library was turned into a newsroom and Woolmer Hill Year 8 students stepped into the world of journalism for Be a Journalist Day.
Throughout the day, pupils developed their news writing, interviewing techniques, and media skills, working collaboratively to create their own front‑page stories.
An inspiring experience that strengthened literacy, sharpened critical thinking, and boosted confidence — we are proud of their enthusiasm and creativity!

7/05/2026We recently welcomed Phil Jebb into school to present to years 7 and 8 on the theme of personal and community safety.
Phil speaks on behalf of www.fearless.org; a dedicated youth service of the charity Crimestoppers.
Years 9 and 10 were given talks with similar themes around staying safe in community and social situations. It was heartening to see how well students engaged with the discussions and the Q&A elements of Phil’s presentations.
